Chapter 489: Destruction of the City and Destruction
The sky was dark, and at the top of Xianyang City, a Thai and Western sergeant yawned, grabbed the battlements, and poked his head out, wanting to observe the situation outside the city.
The sky was foggy, with gray mist everywhere, and it was hard to see far.
The sergeant yawned, thinking that there was still a while before dawn, so he might as well go back and sleep for a while. Anyway, it was foggy today, and the Han army would definitely not attack the city.
"Boss, it's such a heavy fog, let's go back and get some sleep. Anyway, the Han army won't attack the city today."
The sergeant who was hiding under the city battlement said with an aggrieved tone. It was really uncomfortable to get up so early in this weather and follow the others. Look at the brothers near the city wall, they are all hiding in the city gate building.
"No, we need to be on guard against this heavy fog. If the Han army attacks the city and we fail to respond in time, we will die."
The leader, Sergeant Tessie, said with firmness in his tone.
There was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, just like the sound of our own birds taking off. With this sound, the thick fog in front of us started to billow.
The sergeant's expression changed and he yelled at his brothers.
"The Han army flies to attack the city, prepare the crossbows, prepare the crossbows, and cock them."
A group of lazy Thai and Western sergeants immediately took action, scattered out, rushed out, opened the oilcloth covering the bed crossbow, removed the bag on the crossbow, and one by one, pushed the crossbow and bed crossbow up.
"Swish swish"
The sound of dense crossbow arrows suddenly sounded.
"Puff puff"
The Taixi sergeant who had just started busy at the top of the city was immediately shot to death. Blood was sprinkled all over the city. There was no longer a living sergeant around the ballista and bed crossbow.
The leader of the team, Commander Taixi, was so angry that he pulled out the sword from his waist and roared.
"All soldiers, come to the city."
What responded to him was the sound of more intensive crossbow arrows piercing the air.
The thick fog turned, and the general who looked like a hedgehog slowly fell down. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that in the thick fog, groups of ladders with the same height as the city wall were pushed over. The ladders were different from the ladders he had seen before.
It's different, the upper side is very wide, with piles of crossbows and crossbows placed one after another.
In the sky, flying birds broke through the clouds and mist, heading straight for the city wall. Below the flying birds, hanging flaming crossbow arrows.
Fire attack!
An idea flashed through the leader's mind, and the next moment, he fell heavily to the ground, with no more ideas.
On the ladder, Cao Jie waved his hand as he watched the Taixi sergeant rising up from the top of the city and rushing toward the ballista or bed crossbow.
"Free fire, no crossbow can be fired from any ballista."
As he said this, the bed crossbows on the ladder continued to spray crossbow arrows. On the top of the city, the defenders were shot down again. However, two bed crossbows also fired long swords and shot down several guards.
Cao Jie was furious, "Granny, I just said you can't shoot crossbow arrows, but you guys didn't pay attention."
"Brigade A is blocking the front, brigade B is blocking the stairwells on both sides, and brigade D is blocking the soldiers who may come from the south wall of the city."
After issuing military orders one after another, the ladder finally approached the city wall.
The imperial guard battalion that had been prepared jumped down from the city, carried swords and attacked the stairs on both sides. During this period, they kept swinging their swords to kill the Taixi sergeants who were hiding under the crossbows or crossbows, clearing the obstacles.
"The Xicheng Camp is on fire."
The guard with bright eyes pointed to the west and said.
Wang Xiaoliu, who was leading the army, saw the faint light of fire through the thick fog, and knew that the Low-altitude Flying Bird Battalion had succeeded. The next step was to see if he could open the city gate.
"People from the Jiawei Camp, block the city wall and control this section of the city wall."
"Come with me from the second guard camp, kill the defenders of the scattered city, and open the door to welcome the army into the city."
Wang Xiaoliu raised his arm, and all the troops filed out, quickly occupying favorable positions.
The soldiers from the second guard camp had blocked the stairs on both sides, collided with the Taixi troops who had reacted, and started fighting.
The Jiawei battalion divided its troops to both sides, and at the same time pushed the crossbow at the top of the city, turned its direction, and aimed at Sergeant Taixi.
"Swish swish"
Amidst the dense sound of crossbows and arrows, the Thai and Western troops who wanted to rush forward were shot and turned upside down. The sergeants all fell down like rice being cut down.
Wang Xiaoliu jumped up and slashed down with the long knife in his hand. He chopped down a Thai soldier who was hiding under the stairs and avoided the crossbow arrows, and rushed down first.
The two armies were fighting together, fighting was everywhere, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined.
The sound of birds flapping their wings rang out in the sky. At low altitudes, the Han army birds were slowly retreating. At higher altitudes, the Taixi birds were chasing them, wanting to attack the Han army birds.
"Dang Dang Dang"
The sky suddenly resounded with the sound of chaotic crossbows, and a Thai bird rolled and fell from the sky, falling straight into the group of Thai soldiers. It smashed into a group of Thai soldiers, crying for their fathers and mothers, and killed all the soldiers.
"Swish swish"
The crossbow arrows carried by the flying bird were somehow activated and shot in all directions. In an instant, they shot down a large number of surrounding sergeants. On the street, scores of Thai and Western sergeants fell down, creating a brief vacuum.
"kill"
The Imperial Guard Battalion changed its offensive and finally rushed down the city wall and captured the city gate.
"Send a team of people up and open the city gate."
Wang Xiaoliu, half covered in blood, ordered the lieutenant. At the same time, he raised his arm and rushed forward with four other battalions of guards to meet the oncoming Taixi army.
With a level 3 short sword card hanging on his body, Wang Xiaoliu was agile and did not take the Taixi soldiers in front of him seriously. If the tall barbarian soldiers were still capable of fighting, these Taixi soldiers were too weak.
Soon, the city gate was opened, and a large group of Han troops entered the city outside the city.
At the top of the city, Cao Jie had already brought in his own crossbows and crossbows. When he saw a large group of guards entering the city, he was convinced.
Xianyang City was destroyed.
The commander-in-chief led the army and the attack was invincible. The Taixi people relied on the power of the flying birds to prevent the Han army from breaking the city. Now that the city gate is broken, no matter how powerful the Taixi people's flying birds are, they cannot defend the city.
What's more, the Taishi's flying birds can't protect themselves this time.
Cao Jie raised his head and saw that the sun had risen in the east, and the fog on the ground began to dissipate. In the sky, the Han army's birds had already appeared, and they were pressing down on the Taixi birds. Taixi birds were constantly hit by arrows.
It fell down and set off a firework.
In the city, Joseph was furious and pointed at Rotli and cursed.
"This is your recuperation. Where are the sergeants you took out? Press them up for me. Press them up and drive out the Han army."
Luo Teli's face was ugly. Su Lu really chose a good time. He didn't attack early and he didn't attack late. He just chose this moment. He had just removed some of his sergeants and went out to perform the mission, and the city was breached.
Looking at the birds in the sky, Rotli said with an ugly face: "Let's go, sir, our bird camp has been defeated. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
Joseph fiercely held the steel knife in his hand, still on the ground, and ordered: "Here, bring my horse and let's go."
After the commander left the city, Sergeant Taixi's resistance instantly collapsed.
On that day, the Han army broke into Xianyang and killed more than 20,000 Taixi soldiers.
The new flying bird won a great victory in the first battle, destroying the enemy's flying bird camp, defeating the enemy's army in succession, and achieving a great victory.
